SSHMenu is a GNOME panel applet* that keeps all your regular SSH connections within a single mouse click.
To install it on Ubuntu, add this entry to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/debian stable contrib
Then you have to import the repository key:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4CC00851
gpg --export --armor 4CC00851 | sudo apt-key add -
Run:
sudo apt-get update
and then:
sudo apt-get install sshmenu-gnome

Go to System > Administration > Network
Click the “General” tab
You need to Uncheck the option that says “Scan for available services and advertise…” and close.
Now you can try to login using ssh you should see it will prompt for password immediately.
That’s it!
